Willow kept standing and didn’t move until she heard the door close. She stiffly removed her bathrobe and stared at the suggestive marks on her body.
Julian had been particularly rough on her because of Jeffrey. It was as if he wanted to leave his personal mark on ber.
She took a bath again and scrubbed her body three times. Then, she tossed her dress because Julian’s musky scent was all over it.
It was 3:00 am by the time Willow went to the rooftop. She stood there quietly and watched as the city went to sleep, feeling the loneliness enshrouding her

of him.
It might have seemed like Willow had wealth and social connections. However, she actually didn’t have anything. She had never had the thing she’d wanted to do

The sky was dark as Julian went back to the Ziegler residence. The black Rolls–Royce had just ground to a halt when Noah opened the car door and said respectfully, “Mr. Ziegler, Mr. Ziegler Senior is waiting for you in the study,”
